My first year at uni really really did a number on me. A year before that, though, I was at my lowest ever weight and felt amazing, although I still had a way to go. By the time I got back for my summer break, over two years I had gained over 40 pounds. It’s been a stressful couple of years, dealing with the death of a loved one, and many drastic changes.

So when I got back home and my mom saw me she was like, that’s it, it’s time for some TOUGH LOVE! I love my mom hahaa – she got me started. I stayed home for the first three or four days, because I was jetlagged and exhausted, but then I realized that the tiredness wasnt from the travel – it was from the change in diet!! I felt crap but that meant it was working!!!

After that I went to dubai for 4 or 5 days, and I noticed myself having many cravings. I didn’t act on them, though, which is a FIRST for me. Still, I’m so used to failing at diets that even though my family was telling me that I looked better, I was certain that I hadn’t lost anything, or possibly even gained!

So when I got back home, I couldn’t take the suspense anymore and went to the health clinic nearby to weigh myself (i only ever trust that scale lol) and lo and behold…. i lost NINE POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was in such a state of shock! Not eating crap and exercising daily actually does work!!!!

So… up to now total weight loss: 9 pounds
Weight left to lose: 51 pounds

my next weigh in is in 10 days, I hope it goes as well!!!
